Today we’re here to show you one of the most beautiful places in Egypt, one that is rather unknown place to most people. We’re talking about the beautiful Wadi El Gemal National Park. This is a huge area of 7450 kilometres squared, and stretching along the shore for 60 kilometres, and covers both the land and the sea.

This National Park houses the Wadi El Gemal Valley, one of the biggest valleys in the Eastern Desert, and one of the richest in living organisms.

One of the natural beauties at the park is the Hamata Mountain, the second highest mountain in the Eastern Desert, also holding a diverse collection of life.

Moving to the shores, you’ll see the beauty of the coral reefs, forming sunken islands, all retaining their original beauty and shape. Not to mention the abundant seagrasses which are vital for underwater life.

But that’s not all. The National Park also has a number of islands where you can find birds and sea turtles in abundance.

What we love the most about this place is the incredible variation in landscapes. This huge park has desert, green landscapes, mountains, valleys, and even the sea.

Wadi El Gemal National Park is a stunning place to see and a must-visit spot in Egypt. The natural scenes are captivating, and you will be missing out on a whole lot if you don’t give this park a visit.
